Let me know what ya think on the writing. I'd like to do more short stories, or plot styled writing. Poeticly if possible


Liv-i'd...

---(Hidden so long, from so many

Time can seem expendable, foolish thoughts, found relaxingly aplenty

Delusion can bring back so much hesitation

Stopped in place, we face the always known possibilities of frustration)---

For my sake, in my daydream, this moment, I dare not wake...

The shadows hang over me, moving only enough to show intention

My breath deathly quiet, gives movement no mention

Cold hands hold demands for my life

Each one wanting to pierce pleading reasons like a knife

For this, I dare not wake among company as hellish as they

For now, I'd rather a stranger, blind to them, carry me away

No sight, no fear to show

Faces frowning as my silence continues to grow

As the scene takes hold of those present to a lifeless body that couldn't endure

I wait, for chance, for fate, to look away for just a moment unsure

For the farthest hope one couldn't ever see

The shadows wither once more, satisfied with a body that's lied, again...I'm free...

Slowly, I look about, to faces stuck with awe at my movement so slow

As they stare, I take care to patiently get up, & go

I cannot stay, not while my heart still skips

Off balance, struggling with my stance, painful steps lead legs as they try to avoid accidental trips

The alleyway my friend, to the unseen, I carry my being to its calling

Once in solitude, I can give in to this overwhelming sensation of falling

I need no help, no course in what to do next in my physical state

Death a given, I stride to hide another day from so-called undeniable fate

Wether a burning hole, or a shiny gate

Either one will have to forgive me for again, being late

Tomorrow my goal, while I still have control

My body, for my stubborn ways, will have to pay the toll

Bloody, broken, bare beyond emotion

My mind is still kind in its reasoning for such sideways devotion

To simply live...

That enough, for someone who has nothing more to give...

"For the moment, let me rest this shell of a man...

Forgive me if I wander again, if you can..."
